The Owner Says; We have lived in the village for over 16 years and we will be sorry to leave. We were immediately made to feel extremely welcome from day one, and have made life long friends with our village neighbours. You can be as involved as you want to be certain that there will always be a friendly face everywhere. We are proud to now call ourselves 'villagers'  and will greatly miss living in Bishop Monkton.

Barclay Watt Say; We are delighted once again to be instructed on another beautiful Bishop Monkton cottage. We have recently sold two similar properties to people new to the area and who wished to live in a proper community and we believe it is our genuine love for this village that comes across to potential purchasers. There is everything that you could need nearby, including the lovely Mason's Arms, which is the hub of the community. If you wish to live in a good old fashioned village community, yet have Harrogate close by, then this home is perfect for you. Belmont House itself is as charming as you would expect it to be, and has clearly been a happy home. There is scope to extend ensuring the new owner can put their own mark on it.
